Anonymous Hero Gets Fair Share Of $140 Million

As part of a $140 million civil settlement with Health Care Service Corporation, a private plaintiff was paid more than $21 million for exposing that this Medicare carrier had submitted false information to the Health Care Financing Administration, failed to process claims in accordance with HCFA’s guidelines, and failed to process correspondence and reviews in a timely manner.

This private plaintiff, who preferred to remain anonymous through what must have been a very lengthy and stressful ordeal, helped stop these abuses of the health care system, saving U.S. taxpayers millions of dollars. And, because the Federal False Claims Act stipulates that whistleblowers who catch large companies or individuals red-handed in the act of defrauding the government should be rewarded by up to 30% of the total amount awarded, this anonymous hero walked away with over twenty million dollars.
